Is it right for your family?
A fantastic experience for any family. Youll stay in a small comfortable hotel in Churchill. Experienced expedition leaders will explain how polar bears survive in this harsh environment. It will be cold so wrap up well. Minimum age is 10 years, as long periods of time may be spent in the tundra buggies observing these amazing creatures. During your free morning you can go dog-sledding or shop for a momento of your holiday.
